I read that some Mkks have received an improvement in AESA radar, but I have not found conclusive evidence
Well well, IRL J8B supposed to be vs F22, so u never know.
My sources say it was the N001 VEP PERO which was some how a antenna of an AESA radar fitted to a N001 (IDK). I saw a lot of these but as far as I am aware, Both Zhuk and PERO upgrade were proposals for the MK3 which was never completed due to J16.
I have a suggestion for the J-11B Block 2 Pending.
J11B Block 2 13.0
J11B Block 9 with AESA (? Might be PESA) and PL-15 later down the line?
A suggestion should be made for the J-11A to receive the J-11B modification like how the Jaguar GR.1A has the Jaguar GR.1B modification. Aircraft upgrade modifications are already in-game and with the current performance of the poor J-11A I see no reason why this couldn’t be added (besides Gaijin wanting to be lazy whenever it comes to Chinese vehicles).

They wouldn’t need to modify the visual model much at all, just add chinese missiles pretty much haha

BR in WT is decided by performance, not the year it come into service, or why there’s a post WW2 tank in Sweden Tier 1?
This is just a joke about when they will get added, cause it seems like PLAAF keep their docs too secretive that even the devs don’t know how they are, so we never know when they will get added, this is nothing to do with BR LOL.
Cause your’s reply seems not like a joke like what you replied to…
Coping about the J-11A aside I actually don’t think anything will be done about the vehicles performance. I don’t see Gaijin improving the vehicle whatsoever so we’ll have to probably endure until Gaijin closes as a company (because this issue with China getting lacklustre vehicles will forever remain lmao).
Anyways, can’t wait for the introduction of the J-20 with PL-2s! Gaijin didn’t have enough information

Discontent to state of Chinese vehicles forever a theme among Chinese players, I mean why is PL5B even in game, they produced like 10 of them in total.

Likely because Gaijin wants to introduce the PL-8B as it should be - which would have IRCCM better than anything in game currently. R-73 & Magic 2 still heavily underperforming. Allegedly because Gaijin devs think reducing the FoV further will cause issues with the game engine.
As I remember, R-73 both have the ability of changing fov and flare avoiding(like aim-9m), but for balance, it only given the changing fov. not familar with 9m
so what we need is just a IRVVM missile, no matter how it is, unless it’s IR imaging like PL-10 and AIM-9X
The R-73 model that we have is just FoV and reduced sensitivity to countermeasures, there is no circuit to shut off the seeker temporarily. The Magic 2 does have such a system, though.
I remember the report paper from Chinese Air force talked about this ability(I can’t find it), is there any improvement?
There are other options other than the PL-5B like the PL-5C which could be introduced onto vehicles like the J-7E/D, J-8B or the Q-5L.

Again, more modern IRCCM than they’d like to add
I meant the PL-5C, the one already in-game so there isn’t any excuse whatsoever not to introduce them onto the vehicles I mentioned above. And I’m pretty sure its the PL-5E II which has the dual band IRCCM not the regular PL-5E.
This is kind of true, but i just hope that at least PL5C is added to planes like Q5L/J7E and J8B.

Where do they get this ‘FOV’ reduction from? I’ve never seen this in any of my books on missile IRCCM, and it just isn’t logical to even do it inside a missile. The earliest effective IRCCM I’ve read about is changing the scan to be off bore, so instead of scanning and moving the missile so that the target becomes closer to the center-line of the missile, the scans are offset so that the edge of all of the scans will meet with the target appearing in the edge of each scan. It functionally does the same but drastically reduces the time spent looking at the target thus reducing the probability that the missile will see a flare. The next major evolution was with DSP, which the 9M is a very bare bones and basic example of where if an additional return on the seeker element is detected then the computer will not use that data it got, stop accepting data for X time, and then resume if only 1 return is detected. The Pl-8B is a further advancement of all these using an offset scan with a 4 multi-element seeker and with an unknown DSP algorithm. At worst the DSP algorithm is the same as the 9M (0% chance they use this IRL, but Gaijin will probably default to it), at best the algorithm is like a Stinger and can create an image of what it is seeing from the return data it collects over it’s flight.
